It's Beginning to Sound A lot like Christmas

2011-12-12T08:32:00.000-08:00

Yup that's right! Christmas music is on the radio, and I listen to it every morning on the way to seminary :) My favorite top 5 Christmas songs right now are:

1. All I Want for Christmas Is You - Michael Buble

2. Christmas (Baby Please Come Home) - Michael Buble {It's EXTREMELY catchy ;)}

3. Have Yourself a Merry Little Christmas - Alan Jackson {My family likes to listen to Country Christmas music haha}

4. Holly Jolly Christmas - Guess Who? Yup.. Michael Buble

5. It's Beginning to Look A Lot like Christmas - Michael Buble

If you can't tell... I'm in a Michael Buble Christmas mood. Normally I don't like him but for some reason I LOVE his Christmas music :)

Pumpkin Patch/Halloween Run-Down

2011-11-04T17:06:00.000-07:00

So this is a little late but it's better late than never right?? :) Here we go:

This year I went to a pumpkin patch (located where the tulip festival is) with the Kanaups, the Kangs and the Woodward's! :) It was so much fun! There was archery, potato guns, pumpkin launcher, paint ball guns, and a corn maze! When we first got there, we shot all the weapons for a while, and then decided to go into the corn maze. I was with Adam and Emilee, and we ran A LOT trying to get away from the "little Kangs" as Adam says. It was good exercise haha. After the corn maze we ate lunch. Then I went with the Kangs and the Woodward's to the Woodburn Outlet-Mall. We went to Nike, Aeropostle, Converse, and ... I forgot the rest.. but it was fun of course. How can you not have fun at a mall?

Halloween 2011:
This Halloween, I didn't know I was going Trick-or-Treat-ing till the night before, so I must admit my costume was lame... I was a yoga/excersice-er chick. :P But anyways! I went to a Halloween dinner+fun at Hannah Shields' house. Emilee Woodward and Rachel Kang were there also :) Emilee=cat, Rachel=cow girl, Hannah=Marathon Runner! After the dinner we went up to the Kangs and met up with the other Kangs and other Woodward's and went Trick-or-Treat-ing around Forest Gale Heights. I must admit.. I felt a little too old to be trick-or-treat-ing but it was fun anyways, plus there were older people than me trick-or-treating too, so it's all good. It was freezing the whole time but it was fun and I'm glad I went. :) Yay for candy and friends!

Ditching Jackie at College :)

2011-09-20T13:52:00.001-07:00

On Wednesday the 7th of September, Jackie, me and Mom got up nice and early (3:30 a.m.) and started the drive to BYU-Idaho! :) It was a LOOONNG drive and for some reason it seemed to take longer than the drive to Utah which is weird cuz the drive to Utah is longer...if that makes sense ;).

Instead of staying at a hotel, Saisha asked the Smiths (the people she was staying with) if if would be ok if we stayed there too. They, being the really nice people that they are) said yeah so we made our way to their house. The sunset was me being bored on the way there :)

Jackie's apartment door was open when we got there :)

Couches in the living room plus a T.V! lol

They had a pretty good size kitchen, lots of cupboard space!

Mom and Jackie. BTW Jackie is roomies with her bff Saisha :)

Saisha's bed with extra height from her bed raisers. I swear she had to jump to get onto her bed.

Desk :D

Saisha had a TON of bags full of shoes, and clothes

The one and only dresser in their room. (which means sharing ;) )

Saisha's side of the closet

Jackie's side of the closet.. lol see a difference between the two?? :D

Double bathroom! Luckily :) Two showers, two toilets

and two sinks :)

Huge stake building super close to Jackie's apartment! Notice it's two levels and there's a ton of steps leading up to it???

I think Jackie's apartment area looks like a hotel :)

Jackie's apartment are from our van...

..and the guys' apartments from our car. the dudes are SUPER close!! I've decided that i'm gonna go to BYU-Idaho too, and that this is where i'm gonna stay ;)

We spent the night at the Gooches (of course :D) Their cat Spike is a weird one ;D

Only 205 more miles!!! :D

It was super weird driving home without Jackie in the car with us. It was definitely quieter hahaha :D It was way fun though and now i can't wait to go pick her up!

Fort Stevens Part 2

2011-09-03T19:31:00.001-07:00

While camping, we also went over to Seaside and did some fun things. Seaside was super close to Fort Stevens it was fantastic :)

Rachel in a HUGE giraffe mask ;)

Ya.. this store was weird lol it was like a tribal import
store or something like that

Cute little Lilly :)

Ya, it's that weird tribal store, they had figurines
like that all over haha, we had fun with it :)

Throughout the whole time we were in Seaside we were
finding funny sayings like that one

Funny name for a n ice cream store right?

ok we did those bike things, didn't get any pics but let me just
say it is WAY harder than it looks

Jacob all decked out haha

On the way home from camping, one of the tires blew out on the trailer, so we pulled over. Sadly, we couldn't get service on Sister Woodwards phone so we used Hannah's phone and i called my parents but then her phone died :( Luckily, an ambulance was passing so we waved them down and used one of their phones. We also had a police car there with us on the side of the road while waiting for my parents to bring a spare tire. I bet it looked a little weird to drive past a car pulled over with a police car AND an ambulance :)

I stole Adam's glasses ;P haha

Rachel and Emilee :) LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Overall it was a super amazing trip and i loved it! I'm so happy i was able to go :)
Oh BTW: POLAR BEARS ROCK! ;D

Camping at Fort Stevens Part 1

2011-09-03T19:10:00.000-07:00

Last month i got to go camping with some people from my ward, the Woodward's, Kang's, Kanaup's, and Hannah Shields!! Me and my brother both went with them and we camped for 3 days in yurts in Fort Stevens over by the coast!! It was sooo much fun! :D Sorry the pictures are gonna be out of order a little bit.

Elise, Jacob and Hannah

Lake Coffenberry or something like that haha :)

Jacob doing some pull ups at the Battery

At the Battery still.. :)

Aaron and Hannah at the Lake

This is at the Battery Russel , some pit type thing, they were all over

Sounds dangerous huh? This was the sign you see
before entering the Battery. :)

To be Continued... :D

New Years Eve

2010-12-31T13:38:00.000-08:00

IT'S NEW YEARS EVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! EEP!!!

2010 is finally over.. it was a great year but i'm looking forward to starting fresh again.. besides i think 2011 is a MUCH cooler number but maybe i'm just weird. :) My grandma and grandpa are here from maryland and are gonna be here till i start school again. i haven't seen them forever so it's good to see them again. Sydney and my uncle and aunt are also coming over to our house soo it should be one fun party right? haha :) i kinda can't wait to go back to school and see my friends though.. not excited for the LEARNING part of school but i love the friends part :D

Duct Tape

2010-06-12T11:31:00.001-07:00

My friend Hannah and i love duct tape!!! It's a really sweet invention if you ask me. Hannah can make amazing things out of duct tape though!! She is sooooo cool! I don't think i would/will ever be able to make the same things she does unless she shows me step by step. But even then i think i would blow it. :)

This is a beautiful flower that she made. and yes, it is made out of duct tape, by hand.

The

Line!! on the front it says "the" and on the back it says ''line''

there fore it is The Line

This is me and the beautiful duct tape flower!

THE END!!!

WOW!!

2010-05-13T19:13:00.000-07:00

It's been a LONG time!!! Life's been busy! I have had track for the past month and some so I haven't had time to blog at all!

I LOVE track! It was soooo much fun! I was a distance runner, i ran the 800m. We had our last track meet on tuesday and then it was over. i'm happy and sad at the same time, happy because i don't have to come home exhausted anymore! Sad because i liked running with my friends and hanging out. i'm definately going to do track next year! :)

Guess What???!!!

2010-03-19T17:17:00.000-07:00

IT'S SYDNEY'S BIRTHDAY TODAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SHE'S TURNING 14! YAY!!! :)

Uggh...

2010-02-27T21:20:00.001-08:00

Next week at school we are going to start Oaks testing. Reading and math. Let me tell you this-- I am NOT looking forward to it, not at all!! I usually do pretty well in the testing area but there's just so much PRESSURE!!! Plus I have two major projects that I have to work on. For the testing week the school changes our schedules (I have no idea why) so I don't have the classes in which I have these wonderful projects! To sum it all up- IT SUCKS!

But on a happier subject tomorrow Tayler and his robotic team are going to state!!! YAY! It's going to be a lot of fun!

Music

2010-01-29T18:16:00.000-08:00

So lately I've been listening to a lot of music. I decided that i need some new songs to listen to, so if anyone has a song that is really good please leave a comment and tell me what it is. Then rate it on a 1-10 scale 1 being 'eh, it's ok' and 10 being 'emma, you HAVE to listen to this song, you haven't lived till you've heard it!'. So yeah...

Movie!!

2010-01-17T11:25:00.001-08:00

Ok, so your probably thinking, "Another movie post? Does this girl have a life besides books and movies?" But oh well. I really really want to see the movie The Lightning Thief! The books were amazing and I just can't wait! I think it's going to be an awesome movie. It comes out on Presidents Day, which is February 16th right? So it's coming up and I'm pretty psyched for it! I also want to see Sherlock Holmes but not as much as I want to see this one.

And here's the trailer: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uk-dTvUQjzc&annotation_id=annotation_461942&feature=iv

...

2010-01-06T17:27:00.000-08:00

Wow. I can't think of anything to write about, but I guess I'll tell you about the book I just finished, like 12 minutes ago.It's called Tiger's Curse! It is an amazing book! It's about a girl(Kelsey) who is living with her foster family when she gets a job ant the circus. At this circus there is a tiger, whose name is Dhiren. Kelsey feels a strange connection to the tiger and spends all of her extra time with him.I don't want to ruin it for you so, you'll just have to read it yourself! But I will tell you this Dhiren is a man cursed in a tiger's body(which you find out in the prologue, so I'm not ruining it for you there) and Dhiren and Kelsey fall in love(sweet huh?) and Kelsey goes on an adventure to find artifacts to free Dhiren.

So yeah.It's really really good though! So good that as soon as I finished it I went online and placed a request from my library to get the second one! You may think I'm a little weird for posting about books all the time, but oh well! Books are amazing!

BTW: I've seen on other peoples blogs that instead of "5 comments" it says something like "5 bits o stuff people said".So I'm wondering how do you change it? I've been trying to figure it out, but I can't, so if you know please tell me!

Oh My Gosh!!

2009-12-19T17:00:00.000-08:00

Oh my gosh! We just got back from seeing Avatar!! It was AMAZING!!!!! We saw it in 3D and it was, wow, it was one of the best movies i've seen for a while! Makes me wish i was a Na'vi and lived on Pandora! You'll have to go and see it for yourselves! My whole family loved it!

uh..

2009-12-13T17:16:00.000-08:00

I'm so excited! Next week is Christmas! And only 4 more days of school and then it's winter break! YEAH!! We would have gotten out earlier if the weather man had been right about it snowing/freezing raining. I don't trust or believe the weather man anymore! Especially during the winter! He gets all our hopes up and then he's wrong! But i guess it did freeze rain everywhere BUT forest grove, where i happen to live. Oh well, there's always January right? I'm hoping that nothing will upset me so i can have and awesome last week of school(for december anyways). BTW: Did you know we are now in the 12 days of Christmas? This month has gone by so fast that it doesn't feel like next week on friday should be Christmas, but it it! I can't wait! =) (i know i've said that a lot already...but i seriously can't wait!!!!)

Christmas time is here...

2009-12-04T19:54:00.000-08:00

I'm so phyched that it's Christmas time!!! I have alot of Christmas songs stuck in my head! Because in the morning our bus driver, Denise, plays Christmas music and then on the way home from school she turn's in up really loud, for the whole way. I'm not complaining though, I LOVE Christmas songs.

Speaking of Christmas, I walked in the door and find my mom just barley had finished wrapping some presents. Jackie's is HUGE! It seems like having the biggest preset switches off between us. I was thinking, too bad I didn't walk in while she was wrapping mine, then I would know what it is! But then again I really like surprises! I just hate waiting the 21 more days till I can open it!

2009-11-01T08:43:00.000-08:00

So this Halloween i went up to forest gale heights to trick-or-treat with Rachel, Autumn, Chloe, Hannah, Elise, Lily, Emilee, Jacob, and Adam. It was awesome! Aot of the people in forest gale heights gave out the big candy bars!(not the minis!) It sucked though cause Rachel was sick so she couldn't go with us.(sorry Rachel! we missed you!) Then after we went around the neighborhood we went back to Rachel's house and got cupcakes. Then Emilee, Jacob and Adam came back to our neighborhood with me and Tayler (and out chauffeur, our mom.) We then went around our neighborhood! It was awesome because one of the houses gave out a bag of chips, a big handful of candy and a toy!(kinda reminds me of the kids meal at McDonald's!) At one of the houses the dude told me and Emilee that that was the biggest load(of candy) that he's seen all night! Over all I had an awesome night!!! =)

p.s. I was a football fan! i carried around my teddy bear(who was the player i was a fan of) and he had a little football helmet on.

p.s.s. I also saw Karimi and Murimi while i was up in Rachel's neighborhood!

Dance

2009-10-17T12:29:00.000-07:00

Last Thursday we had a tri-ward dance! It was alot of fun! First we learned how to 'cha-cha'. Then the girls lined up against the wall and the boys against the other wall. Then the dance instructor person gave the boys a pep talk to ask us to dance. The boys then came to ask us to dance. Ammon asked me to dance first. Let me tell you it was kinda awkward! He's also really tall so that made it a little difficult to dance with him!:) Then we switched partners and I ended up with Jacob(Emilee's brother) and we learned how to swing dance! Me and Jacob didn't really know haow to do it so we were just doing to basic stuff and laughing because everyone else was doing to complicated stuff. Over all it was a really fun night and at the end of the night my cheek bones hurt from smiling and laughing so much! I can't wait to do this again or go to the stake dances! The bad thing is I have to wait till I'm 14 till I can go to the stake dances, i can't wait!

Song

2009-10-03T11:38:00.001-07:00

This is another good song by Taylor Swift I think it's my new favorite! Oh and the music video is really good! So here it is:

Your on the phone with your girlfriend, She's upset
she's goin off about something that you said
'cause she doesn't get your humor like i do

I'm in my room, it's a typical tuesday night
i'm listening to the kind of music she doesn't like
and she'll never know your story like I do

But she wears short skirts, i wear t-shirts
she's Cheer Captain and i'm on the bleachers
dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
that what your looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that i'm the one who understands you
been here all along, so why can't you see?
you, you belong with me, you belong with me

Walking the streets with you and your worn out jeans
i can't help thinking this is how it ought to be
laughing on the park bench, thinking to my self
Hey, isn't this easy?

And you've got a smile that could light up this whole town
I haven't seen it in a while since she brought you down
you say your fine, i know you better than that
Hey, what ya doing with a girl like that?

She wears high heels, i wear sneakers
she's Cheer Captain and i'm on the bleachers
dreaming 'bout the day when you wake up and find
that what your looking for has been here the whole time

If you could see that i'm the one who understands you
been here all along, so why can't you see?
You belong with me

Standing by here and waiting at your back door
all this time how could you not know
baby, you belong with me, you bleong with me

Oh i remeber you driving to my house in the middle of the night
I'm the one who makes you laugh when you know your bout to cry
and i know your favorite songs and you tell me bout your dreams
think i know where you belong, think i know that it's with me

Can't you see that I'm the one who understands you?
been here all along, you why can't you see?
you belong with me

Standing by and waiting at your back door
all this time, how could you not know
baby,you belong with me, you belong with me

You belong with me
have you ever thought just maybe?
you belong with me
you belong with me

to see the music video click on this link http://www.cmt.com/videos/taylor-swift/377889/you-belong-with-me.jhtml. the music video is really good so check it out!

2009-09-20T15:14:00.000-07:00

So now that I've gotten into the swing of things everything is great! I love going to school and not just hangin' round the house doing nothing. The school is still confusing but since I'm on a schedule, I have the same classes everyday so I know where they all are now. I don't like homework though. That is probably one of the only things I hate about school. Especially now that I have 7 classes!

This is the perfect picture to show what I mean!

I should post a map of the school on here so you guys can see what I mean. I'm sure you guys understand how confusing it is but I want you guys to actually see a map 'cause then you will completely understand.

Oh and thank goodness for lockers! They are AMAZING! This is basically what our lockers look like except we have combination locks and there is no handle. After you do your combo you push in and turn till it tightens and then pull out. It's pretty annoying sometimes, especially when you have sweaty hands cause then you can't get a good enough grip on it. So lockers are not feared any more they are my friend!

school

2009-09-07T19:45:00.000-07:00

I start 7th grade on Thursday, and I am soo ready! I have all of my school shopping done(for now!). I have practiced opening locks getting ready for my locker.I know what I'm going to wear on the first day. I have my binder all set up except for one thing. What else is there to do? I'm sooo ready to get out of my house because I have run out of ideas to keep myself entertained. I have my locker buddy set in mind. This is going to be my first year of 7 periods(I'm used to just a homeroom). Also my first year of a locker. Oh and NO RECESS! I didn't really like recess. All last year I spent recess in the library because there is NOTHING for me to do outside on the playground. I went outside on the few days that it was sunny and warm and talked with Karimi or just walked around with her. So I can't say I'm going to miss recess. I'm pretty nervous about school though. When I get the same response, "Oh your going to be fine." or "After the first week your going to be wondering why you were nervous at all!" or "Your going to love it there, there's nothing to be worried about." I think that's all the ones she's said to me. This happens every year when I get a new school because I'm moving up. I'm sure it will be the same when I go into High School. But other than being nervous, I'm really,really excited!!

Pictures

2009-08-28T10:06:00.000-07:00

Here they are, the pictures I promised.

This is the craft it forward gift I received. My Aunt Heidi made the necklace and the bracelet for me. Really cute huh!

This is Brooke's apron. There are cakes on it because it's probably going to get to her around her birthday.

Just a close up on a cake

This is Halley's apron. I don't know if she like grapes and purple at all, but there was a limited towel section so yeah. A close up on the button's that are at the top of the apron

A better picture of the cluster of grapes at the bottom

This is Rachel's apron. This was the first one I did.

The sunflower.

The buttons on the top of this one are flowers!=)

I hope you guys will like the aprons that I made for you! I'll get them to you as soon as I can.

Craft it Forward!

2009-08-26T17:56:00.000-07:00

I just barley finished making my craft it forward gifts! Boy let me tell you it took ALOT of work! But I think they are very cute and I hope that Halley,Rachel K. and Brooke like them. I made aprons for them. They are made out of 2 dish towels each. I will post pictures later.

As for the gift i got for craft it forward, i will post pictures of that later also!=)

School shopping!

2009-08-20T11:29:00.000-07:00

Yesterday we went school shopping clothes edition! But before we did that we had to go to this place to get our car fixed. It took 3 hours!!! It felt like way longer though. Then we went to game stop to get Tayler a late birthday gift, he was there to pick it out though so it wasn't a surprise. Then we went to Wal*Mart. I didn't get anything at Wal*Mart because I didn't see anything that I liked. So then we went to JcPenny. I found everything there! The sucky part was that I'm an extra small and alot of the shirts didn't have any. But I still found alot! There was a really big sale going on, buy 1 get 1 for 1 dollar. Even with the Jackets, so it was pretty awesome. Today we are going to Freddies to get shoes! Yeah for school shopping!=)

I'm back from Utah!

2009-08-13T08:45:00.000-07:00

After we went camping with Uncle Russ,Aunt Jenni,Krissie, Katie,Daniel,Cody,Kellie and Kara and Aunt Judy, me and Tayler went to Nevada with them while Aunt Judy stayed to help move. We were in Nevada for a week having tons of fun! Then Krissie and Katie drove us to G&G's house. We went to Lagoon and then the cabin. At the cabin, we did rope climbing, karaoke,the swing and movies! It was alot of fun. Trevor, my cousin, broke his ankle the first day rock climbing. Then at the end of the week I found out that my cousin Ty died. So we went to Delta for church on Sunday. Then we hung out with family for a while until the viewing. Then of course we went to the viewing. Then on Monday we went to the funeral. It was really really sad.

Dad said that in a couple of months we might go back to Delta to hang out with them! I'm excited 'cause hanging out with Akayleigha is really fun! Well hanging out with all of them is fun but Akayleigha is my age so it's funner to hang out with her.

I will post pictures sometime soon!

Camping

2009-07-19T12:59:00.000-07:00

We are going to be going camping with my Uncle Russ,Aunt Jenni, Aunt Judy, Krissie, Katie and her boyfriend, Cody, Kellie and Kara! I can't wait! We are going to be going to a state park called Cape Lookout! My mom told me that it's really close to the beach. Hopefully it's going to be warm and not cold. They are going to get here tomorrow evening, I think, and then we are going to go camping Tuesday-Friday. I'm really really excited, cause I love camping , AND I haven't seen my cousins for a really long time!

Hillary

One of the skits

This is Molly all dressed up for campfire!

hahahahaha! You would have had to have been there to know why I'm laughing!

We were doing crazy human tricks and this girl got up! Look at the way she beds her legs!!

This is the long line for breakfast. Notice the girl still wrapped in her blanket. That's what makes me sure it was the breakfast line!

Me in line for breakfast.

Allison and Hillary

okay so now we're on our six mile hike. this is only the beginning!

Oh I forgot to mention there was a part in this hike we had to hold on to a rope because it was narrow(only wide enough for 1 person) and there was a big drop off through out the hike. It was really pretty though!=)

This was at the end of our hike. We got water guns and then this nice FREEZING river to play in. The water felt really good though!

My mom took a picture of me while I was eating!=)

Isn't it beautiful? It was called the Punch Bowl. AMAZING!!!

Jackie with her water gun!
This was a part we had to cross a stream. People said they thought the round stepping stones look like cookies. I think so too!

Cassidy again. Cassidy and I became really good friends! She is really nice!

This is CassiDee.The other one. She was nice to, she was a second year though I think.

Sister Couch did my hair on Thursday so I just left it in till we got home on Friday and then I took it out when I took a shower. It looks pretty cool though.

Those are all the pictures I took. Girls Camp RULES!!!!!

Girls Camp

2009-07-01T10:26:00.000-07:00

Last week I went to Girls Camp! It was really fun! Our theme was "Hearts Knit Together As One". We did Y.W Value Olympics so each cabin was from a different continent,or country. I was in England. It was AWESOME!! My YCL's were really fun and I made alot of new friends! The time was flying by so I think Girls Camp should be longer that 5 days. I think that Campfire and Rec. was my favorite part. Then the sunday after we got back from G.C after church we went camping at LL Stub Stewart State park. It was really nice and fun! The cabins were small but it didn't seem that small when you were inside. We came home tuesday morning. I had alot of fun hanging out with my family and going on hikes,cookig smores, and eating alot of food!=)

This morning me and Jackie went on a bike ride. It was nice because it was already warm outside even though it was only 7:00. My dad told me that it is supposed to get 90 or warmer this entire week! I'm really happy!=)

Rudy

2009-06-18T08:53:00.001-07:00

This week Jackie has been babysitting the Denny's(people in our ward) dog, Rudy. They are going to be gone all week. Yesterday and today I have been over there with her to help. Not that I'm helping much. Rudy is a whippet and he is very cute! But he also is still freaking out that we go over there because he misses his family I'm guessing. So yeah. This is kind of a weird post but I needed something to blog about so here you go.=)

SCHOOL'S OUT!!!!!

2009-06-14T08:49:00.000-07:00

FINALLY!!!!!! School is finally out! We got out on Thursday. All we did was have a party sign each others memory books(we don't have year books)and then go to an asembly. Then I went to my friend Rebecca's after school party, we walked from the school to her house. It was really fun! We decorated 2 cupcakes and then played in the sprinkler hose thingy. Then we went inside and when we came outside found that Tucker(their puppy) had jumped up on the table and ate 4 cupcakes!! Then we went in the hot tub. After the party I came home and went to the pool with Tayler to get his Junior Lifeguard, I didn't get in the pool though. Came home called Rebecca to see if she could spend the night over at my house. Rebecca came over we played. Went to sleep. Woke up at 7:30 ate breakfast. While we were playing LPS my cousin Sydney came over to play also. We were going to go to the pool at 2:00 but aparently they don't start that schedule till this week. That pretty much sums up my weekend.

This week I'm probably going to go swimming alot. And probably hang outside with friends and play outside.

I'm not going to swim laps though. That's boring!

Oh and come on! 1 comment? Sheesh! I thought my last blog was pretty good! I comment on your guys blog!=)

Friends

2009-05-30T18:33:00.000-07:00

Yesterday when I rode my bike with my friend, we went to her house while my mom was at the post office. We ended up having a water fight since it was 88 degrees outside!=) Then Rebecca(my friend that I rode bikes with) came over to my house for a sleep over! It was really fun! We made a star box and a cube. Then Sister Edlefsen and Kimmy came over to see if Hope, Jackie, Rebecca, and I wanted to play wall-ball at their house. It was like 8:30 or 9:00 when they came and asked so we played wall-ball in the street lights. It was really fun! We left at like 10:30 and then went to bed. In the morning we had cereal(Rebecca wanted cereal so i though ok=)) We then played Guitar Hero World Tour(GHWT) for about an hour. Then we went outside and jumped on the trampoline and then came in and made snow cones. They were really good!!=) Then Rebecca went home cause she had to do some chores and so did I. 2 hours later we went swimming and then went back to Rebecca's house. This time since we were in our swim suits we got wetter than we did last time. Then here I am after a shower and dinner. It was ALOT of fun!

p.s. Also Karimi left for Africa today! She's not going to get back till sometime in August. I'm going to miss her.=(

Ruby Key

2009-05-22T18:18:00.001-07:00

A book I'm reading that is really good is The Ruby Key. It is really really really good and I thought I share about it.

It's about Genna and Dan and their village is next to a forest where "nightlings" live. Their village is only outside from sun-up to sun-down then they go inside. Then the nightlings come out till the moon goes down. Genna and Dan go to the place where the nightlings live and bargain with their king so that their mother will not be sick anymore and that their father will come back and the their evil "uncle" will leave them alone. Well one of the slave nightlings tells them to ask for the ruby key also. So they do and to get all those things they have to find a boy named Doyati. Doyati has been hiding for over 100 years so they're going to have fun trying to find him.=)

I haven't finished it yet and so far they haven't found Doyati yet. But I think they're close.

Origami

2009-05-15T17:26:00.000-07:00

I'm really into origami now. Today my teacher showed us how to make a origami star box. It was really fun and turns out looking pretty cool! I've already made 5 counting the 2 that she guided us through at school. I've learned how to make alot of things like the star box, a heart, a money bow, a jumping frog, a regular frog and one of those fortune teller one's. I don't know why but to me origami is really easy! My mom has some pretty cool square paper so I have alot of paper to choose from. Do any of you know how to make anything origami? I would like to try some new things.=)

The Acctual Worlds Fair

2009-05-13T06:36:00.000-07:00

Last night was the worlds fair! It started at 6 but I didn't get there until 6:35! I got there late because our hometeacher came and didn't leave till then so yeah. Then it ended at 7, and when we got there our teacher told us that we didn't have to stay for the whole time, so I think that alot of people left early. It was really boring. No joke. Me and my mom and dad looked around and then left, it was really really boring! Sorry no pictures. And sorry I haven't blogged in a while there was just nothing to blog about.

Schools Out!

2009-05-03T19:13:00.000-07:00

School is going to be out on Monday and Tuesday this week because of swine flu. I'm happy and sad at the same time. I'm happy cause I get more time to read this really good series that I'm hooked on now thanks to Karimi(it's the Pendragon series, I finally made it to book 3). I'm sad because I only have a limited time left to see Karimi before she goes to Africa to visit family. She leaves around May 20, seems like a far off date but time has been flying by! But I'm also happy that I just get to spend time relaxing and hanging out with family. Oh! I just realized that the Worlds Fair is on Tuesday! I wonder if we're still having it. Hmm.

I forgot to mention, I MISS MY MOM!!!! She left last Tuesday and she is getting back on Wednesday and I really miss her!!!! I can't wait till she gets back! Well that's my update. Tell me something that has happened to you this last week or this week.

World's Fair Project

2009-04-27T18:38:00.000-07:00

North America is doing this World's Fair(WF)project thing on May 5th. The 6th graders are doing a culture or something about that culture that we have studied and go into depth with it. The 5th grader's pick a state and do research about that state. I'm doing Greek Gods. What I'm doing is I picked 5 gods(Zeus, Poseidon, Apollo, Aphrodite, and Athena) and seeing how well people know them. Then I'm going to tell about them and have pictures of them. Of course I have a graph of seeing how well people know them.

Anyways even though the WF isn't till May 5th we have to turn it all in finished on Wednesday. This Wednesday. I'm not close to finishing, so I'm kind of stressing out(cause I always stress about projects!) and then on top of that, my mom's leaving tomorrow. Normally my mom helps me out with these kind of things cause she's crafty and has good idea's. So yeah.

Oh and I'll post pictures of my project and the WF.

Things that happened recently

2009-04-24T11:00:00.001-07:00

Yesterday was 'International take you kid to work' day. So instead of going to school, I went to my dad's work! It was really cool watching him do what he does. It was also fun just chillin and watching him work. At Beaverton Hyundai there was this one car that was soooo cool looking and expensive!

Also yesterday I spent the night at my friend Rebecca's house and it was really fun! We went in the hot tub and watched Beverly Hills Chihuahua. The movie was kinda weird. But anyway's, the reason I'm home so early is because they had to go to their aunt's house because she wasn't feeling so great and she needed help.

Also I wanted to say: Happy Birthday Karimi!!!!=)

2009-04-18T08:29:00.000-07:00

I'm back from Outdoor School!It was soo much fun! My counselor's names were Bumble Bee and Dew Drop.(They all have weird names and then at the end they tell us their real names!) The camp we went to was Trickle Creek! I was in the same cabin as all of my friends except one! I was soo happy that I have good luck! JK. We had different field study things to go to and we got different colored beads for each one. Blue bead=Water, Brown= soil, Green=plants,Red=animal. Then there are extra beads we got like our cabin unity bead for singing/dancing at campfire. We also got our glow in the dark bead for not speaking at all till the next morning, and we also got our Z bead which means we all went to bed on time and didn't talk, hence getting our ZZZ's. It was soo much fun and I think it would be awesome if I could go back and be a Counselor!=)

Outdoor School(ODS)

2009-04-15T07:50:00.000-07:00

Today my classmates and I are going to Outdoor School(ODS)!! We are also going with a neighboring 6th grade class(our school is split up into continents with 2 5 and 6 grade classes. the neighboring class I'm talking about is the other 6th grade class in our continent) and Europe's 6th grade classes(again only 2). I'm sooo excited and the time is going by soo slow I can barley handle it! I'm also excited because my best friend Karimi is going to be in the same cabin as me!! I just hope it doesn't rain on us!=)

April 12th

2009-04-12T16:08:00.001-07:00

Today is Easter sunday as you all know. But something that you may not have known is that it is also my birthday today! It has been a pretty good day so far. Here is how the day went:

I woke up this morning and found this big yellow plastic egg in the hallway, I open in and much to my surprise it doesn't have candy in it, it has a Littlest Pet Shop!(aka LPS) Then I went to see how many there were and I found 6. Then I ate cereal for breakfast and then took a shower and got ready for church. (we have the early time 9:00) Then went to church and had sacrament meeting. Then had our Easter lesson in Sunday school. Went to primary and they sang to me and I got this cool thing from my class, and 2 things from Rachel.(Thanks Rachel!) Then I had my Bishops interview and I am ready to go to Young Women's instead of primary and Activity Days. Then came home had Yoki Soba for lunch and opened my present. My present was cushy addidas flip-flops and perfume that smells really good. (I'll try not to wear the flip-flops to your house Rachel. I don't want your dad to kick me out) then here I am writing this blog.

I think I'm going to post some pictures of me when I was younger up to now.

This is me 4 weeks old

This is me messing around with a hair tie

Oh my gosh! I look like a marshmellow!=)

Me at Tayler's b-day

This is me going of the platform at the Anderson cabin.Directly bihind me is Aunt Judy

This is me and Tayler and Dad out in the hammock in our house in Utah

I can't believe I'm putting Hershey Kiss me on here!

This is me at a place here in Oregon that I can't remember the name of! Some war/fighting zone thingy. It was really cool!

So let me explain, my little cousin Sam was putting stickers on everyone so when they were all gone I took the background thingy and put it on my face.

This is at my 11th birthday

This is me at the air and space musuem on friday the 3rd

Free Clothes

2009-04-10T19:22:00.000-07:00

Yesterday I got a big box full of clothes! They came from my awesome Aunt Judy and my cousins Cortnee and Ashlee! (Thanks you guys!) I loved the clothes so much that I wore one of the shirts today and the vest. There was a huge pile of shirts and pants/shorts. The shirts are mine and all of the pants/shorts are Jackie's 'cause they don't fit me. Anyways, I just wanted to say thanks and I love all of it!

My Sister

2009-04-07T18:43:00.000-07:00

Today my sister Jackie is turning16. Her 'Sweet Sixteen'! For her birthday my parents got her a Nikon D40x with a lens. Let me tell you, that is one expensive looking camera!! She has been begging and begging for one and then she stopped not to long ago. Then she got one! When she saw what it was,(quote) she said "No way!!" and the shock on her face was really funny! Well I just wanted to say Happy Birthday Jackie and I hope you have an awesome day!!

April 1st

2009-03-30T16:12:00.000-07:00

On April 1st my grandma and grandpa and Aunt Tina, Chancy and McKay and Halley(chancy and mckay and halleyare my cousins for those of you who don't know) are coming to visit us from Maryland!!! I'm soo excited that I can hardly stop thinking about it!! They're going to get here around 7 and probably get to my house at 8 or 9. I think that Grandma and Grandpa are staying with us at my house and then the rest of them are going to be staying at my Uncle Sid's house. I think that's that is how it's going to work but I'm not sure. I haven't seen them for 6 or 7 years. Well I saw Grandma and Aunt Tina and Halley 2 years ago at my great Grandpa's funeral, but that is still a really long time ago! So I jsut wanted to share my excitement you.

All those months of waiting paid off. I'm going to make my dad take me to go get it. Then I'll start reading it and tell everyone that they're just going to have to wait their turn.(everyone in my family is a major Fablehaven fan. except my dad) Oh the 4th book is called The Secrets of the Dragon Sactuary.

Stuff

2009-03-23T13:38:00.000-07:00

So I never got to show you my finished scarf. I finished it awhile ago but I forgot to show my pictures. I'm kinda being a little wacky, so it looks weird. You can also really see my scar. I don't like pictures that show it that bad. Oh well.

I also got my haircut. I got it cut a long time ago but again I forgot about the pictures. So here it is!

This is the front. I got alot of layers and I got side bangs. I really like it.

This is me at this knitting club that me and my mom and Hope go to. We do it at this lady in our wards house. It's pretty fun.

This is just a random picture of me. I look really pale because the flash was on.
I was really bored and I needed to blog so yeah. Oh and I just found my friend Akayleigha Young's mom's blog. Her mom is Cheryl if that rings a bell for some of you. She's on my blog list.I was just really excited that I found it because I haven't seen them since forever!!

Happy St. Patricks Day!!!! I love this day cause everyone is wearing green! Or at least everyone should be wearing green.Green is my favorite color!!This morning Tayler went around pinching everyone because they weren't wearing green. Well my mom and Hope were. So Jackie ran around to get her green cardigan thing(she was wearing white). But Tayler wasn't wearing green so then my mom went running to catch Tayler and pinch him,it was really funny. Well I hope everyone at school is wearing green cause some of the boys really get in to the pinching!

Soar With Your Dreams

2009-03-14T17:42:00.000-07:00

Today I went to this program called 'Soar With Your Dreams'. It was really fun! So what you do is you sign up for careers that interest you and when you get to the place they tell you which ones you got. There's a session A,B,C, and D. I got Chef, Meteorologist,Cosmetologist, and Fashion Design. At the very begining there was a keynote speaker and he was a sound person who made sound effects for stuff on T.V and movies. It was the best! So yeah, that's what I did today and it was awesome and I'll probably will do it next year too!=)

p.s. I couldn't find a picture, sorry!

Coming up!

2009-03-10T20:37:00.001-07:00

So coming up this Friday is my parent teacher conference! Yeah me! (not really) The only reason I'm going is to look at the book fair. I want to get 2 books but I might not get them. So maybe I'll just use my own money!(I know it may be shocking that me, Emma has money) Anyways so the 2 books that I want to get are IQ and Every Soul A Star.

Every Soul A Star is about: Ally,Bree and Jack are all strangers brought together at the Moon Shadow Campground, where many have gathered for a rare solar eclipse. Their experiences here and their unlikely friendship will change their lives forever.
IQ is about: In this first book of a new series, thrilling and suspense rules as Quest("Q") becomes tangled in a terrorist plot aimed at his own stepsister. Lies, deceit, and a cunning enemy are cleverly revealed in a surprise plot twists that will keep you guessing until the end.

It's Out Of This World!

2009-03-08T12:33:00.000-07:00

Last night my friend Rachel asked me if I wanted to go to a movie with her. We were going to see Hotel for Dogs, but it turns out that the place we were going to wasn't playing any movies. So Rachel called back and asked me if I wanted to go to Out Of This World with her. She said that it is a big play place and it's really fun and they serve pizza. So I went with Rachel, her mom, and her little sisters Chloe, Hannah,Elise and Lilly. Elise is 3 and she had just learned my name so she was saying it over and over and she wanted to do everything with me. Lilly is just a baby so yeah. Hannah and Chloe followed us everywhere until Hannah found some friends, then just Chloe followed us. Anyway, it was really fun and I'm glad I went! I couldn't find any pictures but there was this big inflatable obstacle course and it was really fun! You had to weave your way through the stuff to get to this really tall (inflatable) slide! You had to climb up(with socks on) to get to the slide. It was awesome and we did it alot! Also there is this play structure, it's really hard to explain but they have big slides and it was just a bunch of fun! It was completely Out Of This World!!

Love Story

2009-03-06T10:39:00.001-08:00

Taylor Swift wrote the song Love Story and right now it's my favorite song!

It goes like this,

We were both young when I first saw you
I close my eyes
And the flashback starts
I'm standing there
On a balcony in summer air

See the lights
See the party, the ball gowns
I see you make your way through the crowd
And say hello, little did I know

That you were Romeo, you were throwing pebbles
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
And I was crying on the staircase
Begging you please don't go, and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

So I sneak out to the garden to see you
We keep quiet 'cause we're dead if they knew
So close your eyes
Escape this town for a little while

'Cause you were Romeo, I was a scarlet letter
And my daddy said stay away from Juliet
But you were everything to meI was begging you please don't go and I said

Romeo take me somewhere we can be alone
I'll be waiting all there's left to do is run
You'll be the prince and I'll be the princess
It's a love story baby just say yes

Romeo save me, they try to tell me how to feel
This love is difficult, but it's real
Don't be afraid, we'll make it out of this mess
It's a love story baby just say yes
Oh oh

I got tired of waiting
Wondering if you were ever coming around
My faith in you is fading
When I met you on the outskirts of town, and I said

Romeo save me I've been feeling so alone
I keep waiting for you but you never come
Is this in my head? I don't know what to think
He knelt to the ground and pulled out a ring

And said, marry me Juliet
You'll never have to be alone
I love you and that's all I really know
I talked to your dad, go pick out a white dress
It's a love story baby just say yes

Oh, oh, oh, oh
'Cause we were both young when I first saw you

To hear the song with the music go to http://www.dailymotion.com/video/x868r9_taylor-swift-love-story_music
It's my favorite song and I listen to it a whole bunch.

I hate coming up with a title. Then it just ruins the story.

Anyway, I finished my green and blue scarf and I have started a new scarf. This scarf is the same green I used last time and a dark navy blue. The navy blue is so dark it almost looks black. I'm doing a double strand scarf, then I am doing knit 2 purl 2 knit 2 purl 2 over and over again. Then when I flip it over I start with the purl 2. It makes it squishy and it gives it a sort of rib. I'll have to post pictures of it later.

We don't have school tomorrow!!!!YEAH!!!! Since there's no school I 'm going to my friend Karimi's house at 1:00 and Rachel is going to be there!! It's going to be so much fun, I can hardly wait!

Knitting

2009-02-27T08:09:00.001-08:00

So lately I have been knitting alot. I'm making a scarf. Here are some pictures. These are my balls of yarn and my needles. I'm doing a striped scarf and it's really easy! I think it's turning out pretty good.

This is just a picture of my scarf.

This is a better picture of my scarf. I tried to make it look

like it was going out and make it look long.

Those other pictures are of the front of my scarf, this one is the back.

I'm knitting on the front side and purling on the back.

Late Pictures

2009-02-22T15:30:00.000-08:00

Sorry these pictures are so late. Wow I look really pale. I had completely forgot about you guys asking to see these pictures till today. I really like my hair like that, I thought it looked really cute. Some people didn't like it as much as I did. Mostly the boys thought that, most of the girls told me I looked (quote) 'beautiful' and they really did say that. Well I thought I would post these pictures even though I'm pretty sure most of you probably forgot.

Party!

2009-02-14T11:07:00.000-08:00

Yesterday night I went to my friend Rachel's house for a sleepover party! I just barely got home and it was a lot of fun! So Rachel invited 7 people over, Me, Rebecca, Alanna, Alyssa, Karimi, Hannah, and Emilee. They are all really good friends of mine so we had a blast playing games! Some games we played are Twister, Sardines, Snorta, and Spoons. When we were playing spoons for one round we put all the spoons at the top of the stairs. Imagine 8 girls climbing on top of each other trying to get the spoon. We stayed up till 2 or maybe it was 3 I can't remember, all I know is that I only got 5 hours of sleep cause we all woke up at 7. This morning after we all had eaten breakfast we played sardines. It was my turn to hide so I hid outside because they hadn't said that I couldn't and no one found me until I went around to the window and waved. When I went back in side I found my dad and he said that they had all been calling my name telling me that my dad was here, but I didn't hear him. Rachel had these cupcakes there and they looked like owls it was really cute!

Oh and guess what I have another birthday party to go to tonight! Two birthday parties in one week end, wow! Happy Valentines day!

Stuff

2009-02-04T16:24:00.000-08:00

Today I decided that I wanted to crimp my hair. So my mom helped me and it took 1hour, but it turned out looking really good! There' this one girl in my class,Emily and she absolutely loved my hair! It was really cool.

Also today I had to give my speech about a Maya warrior would do in a typical day. I am proud to say that I did pretty good and I got all 5's. We needed a 4 to pass.Usually I don't do so well in Speeches but I guess I'm getting better.:)

Oh and I went to see Inkheart with my dad and it was really good! I haven't read the book but I heard that they followed it pretty well!It was really interesting. I always wonder how authors can come up with these things, they must have a really good imagination!

The picture didn't show up all the way so just click on it to see the whole thing.

Progress Report

2009-01-28T17:15:00.000-08:00

Well today we got our progress report. I am proud to say that I did not get anything lower than an A.No A-'s or B's,C's,D's,or F's. All A's and A+'s!! I am really proud of myself!! I don't mean to brag I'm just saying.

We have no school on Friday!!! I'm really happy although I don't think I'm doing anything special. Did you know that Inkheart is out in theatre now? I really want to see it!! My friend Emilee went and saw it last weekend and she said it was really good! So what have you guys been up to?

Maya

2009-01-16T07:49:00.000-08:00

In school I'm learning about the Mayans. I have to do a big project on "A day in the life of a...." and I'm doing a Mayan Warrior. We had the choice of doing Aztec,Inca and Maya. Doing this project helped me learn about the cenotes(on the sidebar of my blog). I really really really want to go to the Yucatan Peninsula and see the Mayan ruins.

I think it would be really cool to climb to the top of one of these buildings and look out around myself. So all I have to do now is make a bunch of money and then my mom will take me. That might take a while.=)

Books I Have Been Reading

2009-01-07T16:42:00.000-08:00

Lately I have been reading the Fablehaven books. So far there are 3 books and the fourth book comes out in March 24 and its called Secrets of the Dragon Sanctuary. Basically I can't wait!!! Once it comes out I am going to have to get it right away because it is killing me! Right now I'm rereading the series to get ready when it comes out even though it doesn't come out for a while. I'm on the 3rd book right now. have any of you ever heard of or read the Fablehaven series?

What the books are about is Kendra and Seth Sorenson go to their Grandparents house while their parents go on a cruise. The property that their Grandparents live on is actually a magical preserve with a whole bunch of good and bad creatures.In the books bad things happen with magical creatures and Kendra and Seth help their grandparents fix things.

I may not have made it sound very good but they are so good! My whole family(except my dad) really liked them.

I'm also reading the 7th book of the Charlie Bone series. It's called Charlie Bone and the Shadow, it's really good!I was surprised that she(Jenny Nimmo) came out with another one! The person who read it before me told me that it sounded like there was going to be another one after this one!

What books have you been reading?

Card Games

2009-01-03T14:08:00.000-08:00

On New Years day we went over to the Woodward's house and they taught us a game called The Great Dalmuti and it's really fun!! What you do is you deal out the deck of cards and pair up the cards in your hand highest to lowest. Then someone goes first and they lay down their highest set of cards and then you go around the table and if you have a set of cards lower than that then you lay it down. The thing is if they lay down 3 12's then you have to lay down 3 of something lower than 12. There are 12 12's, 11 11's, 10 10's and so on and so forth in the deck. Why it's called The Great Dalmuti is because whoever gets rid of their cards first become The Great Dalmuti (the king) and whoever gets out 2nd is the Queen, 3rd you are neutral, 4th you're neutral, 5th you are lower pion(I don't know how you spell it. It's pronounced pee-on), and 6th you are the greater pion. But the placement all depends on how many people are playing. Everybody is neutral except the two pion's and the Dalmuti and the Queen. Does that make sense to anyone but me?

Then yesterday we played Canasta. I had never played it before and for a first timer I think I did pretty good! It was really fun and I can't wait till we play it again! I was really excited because every round except for one I got at least one Bonus! Have you played Canasta before?

Mountain of Snow

2008-12-22T15:34:00.000-08:00

Me and Jackie climbed to the top of a HUGE mountain of snow that my dad made. Let me tell you it was not easy! Jackie(being the heavy person that she is)ruined the mountain so it doesn't look like a mountain anymore.Just Kidding! I swear I got two tons of snow in my boot after we got to the top! Once my foot sank into the snow and it went up to my knee!

Oh and how my dad made it was he shoveled the driveway and all the snow that he shoveled went into many piles but this one was the biggest out of them all. It was really fun!=)

Oh and there's 3 more days till Christmas!!!YEAH!!!!

Excitement!!!!

2008-12-21T12:36:00.000-08:00

I'm so excited!!! Christmas is only 4 days away!!!!!=) All this waiting is driving me crazy! I can't wait to wake up on Christmas and see what "Santa"(*wink*wink*)brought us, and wake up my parents and brothers and sisters at at least 5:00 in the morning. Then open the presents that I've had to look at and anxiously wait till Christmas to open them. Tomorrow I will probably post about how there will be 3 more days till Christmas,but until then I have to make it throught today without opening my presents.sigh....Oh well it will be worth it!=)

It Just Keeps Snowing,and Snowing!

2008-12-20T15:54:00.000-08:00

Today we got up 10 1/2! The snow is powdery and is the perfect snow for tubing although we didn't go tubing today.Here are some pictures.

This is the tree in our side yard I thought it looked kind of cool.

This is the build up of snow that my dad scraped of the driveway and into the grass.

Here's the 10 1/2 inches in our backyard on the deck.(or remains of the deck=)

Jackie says that the News says we're supposed to get another 6-10 inches tonight. I hope this doesn't turn into an ice age!=}

p.s.As I was typing this Jackie announced that we now have over 11 inches. In the morning the snow will probably covering the ruler completely!!

Sick..=(

2008-12-20T08:39:00.000-08:00

I am currently sick with a cough and a sore throat.It really stinks because since I'm sick I can't go play in the snow, and go tubing(which is my favorite thing to do in the snow). And what really bummed me out was that my friend Rebecca asked if I could spend the night at her house and I couln't because I was sick.=( This is my second time being sick this winter. Once right before Thanksgiving(but I got better for Thanksgiving) and now right before Christmas, maybe I'm allergic to holidays.(NOT EVEN!!)

Then there's nothing to blog about because we can't go anywhere beacause of snow. So I will probably blog about weird stuff because there's nothing to blog about.

Merry Christmas!! And a Happy New Year!!=)

T is for...

2008-12-18T16:16:00.000-08:00

Rachel tagged me and I have to say all the things I like but they have to start with T. At least for me anyway.

Tayler- Tayler is a goofball. He is always making me laugh.

T.V- T.V is good when your bored. I basicly just like to watch movies of the t.v though.

Tony Hawk Downhill Jam- this is a game for the Wii, it's a skate board game and it's really fun!

True to the Faith-this is a book that discusses alot of things that have to do with church. It's really good.
(boy is T hard)

Trees-boy do I love trees. they give us paper, toilet paper, and did I mention paper?

Teeth!!- I like teeth. This way I can eat my food!!

Tooth Brushes-tooth brushes are good so I can brush my teeth.

(umm)Trees with snow on them!-this is good because if there's snow on the trees there would have to be snow on the ground to so then I can play in it!

Thanksgiving-FEAST!!(which means FOOD!!)

Turkey-its food!

That's all I can think of. If you want to try this tag then comment on my blog to tell me and I'll assign you a letter! Believe me it's harder than you think!

....sigh...

2008-12-18T14:27:00.000-08:00

....We will most likely have school tomorrow....sigh....I really don't feel like going to school since we have been out all week.

.....I probably won't even be able to go to school tomorrow if I don't start feeling better...I'm like the opposite of Hope, she wants to go to school and I'm dreading it.

Let it Snow, Let it Snow!!=)

2008-12-14T19:56:00.000-08:00

It snowed!!I went tubing with Jackie and her friend Bailey and Dunna(I think that's how you spell it). It was really fun. Me and Tayler decided to make a wall of snow, we got pretty far but then we decided to go inside.
Since it snowed alot church got canceled. Also school got canceled. If it snows again tomorrow(which they're forcasting that it will)we'll probably get out of school on Tuesday too. And then it supposed to snow on Wednesday and Thursday. So we'll probably get out of school all week.
In this picture I'm just messing around with the snow on the car. The snow felt really cool because it was a powder. I hope it will snow some more so we can go tubing again.

Iternet on the Wii

2008-12-01T08:05:00.000-08:00

Stuff

2008-11-26T07:48:00.000-08:00

So since it's almost Thanksgiving I decided to change my background. I thought it was pretty cute so I chose it. It also reminded me of how I used to draw turkeys.

Also I just wanted to know what you guys were doing for Thanksgiving. Are you doing anything different? Are you going to someone elses house (like I am). Just what are you doing.

You guys need to comment on my blog! I've only been getting my mom Aunt Tina and Grandma commenting on my blog! So I'm just PLEASE comment on my blog more often!

5 Day Weekend

2008-10-07T17:42:00.000-07:00

Well the title pretty much gives it all away but I'm going to say it anyways. I GET A 5 DAY WEEKEND!!! We get a 5 day weekend because of parent teacher conferences! Obviously I'm happy because we don't have to do homework,math,social studies(well maybe not social studies),and all that boring stuff. Okay well maybe it's not ALL a big snore, but I definitely do NOT like homework. So that about sums it all up. Oh, wait one more thing....BRING ON THE PARTIES!!!

Say, say oh playmate!

2008-09-19T07:45:00.000-07:00

Today after school my friend Shelby is coming over! We always come up with wacky things to do. She's never played Guitar Hero so we'll probably play some of that and then I have no clue what we're going to be playing. Shelby has only come over to my house once before this and it was last year!Hopefully she will come over more this year!
Say say oh playmate
come out and play with me,
and bring your dollies 3
climb up me apple tree,
slide down my rainbow
into my cellar door and
we'll be jolly friends
forever more more shut the door.
My mom says she sang in differently. Instead of rainbow she said rain barrel but i think rainbow sounds better. What about you?

School

2008-09-07T09:28:00.000-07:00

Sorry I don't have any pictures of my first day of school.But i LOVE my new teacher (Mrs.Sanford) she is soooo much fun! I also have a new music teacher who is going to be teaching us how to play the guitar and he is a ton of fun. On my first day of school we had music, so when we got to his classroom we walk in to find that he had his amps there and was ready to blow our ears away! Let me tell ya it was LOUD! He played a few songs for us and he is rally good!!! Mrs.Sanford practically just had a buch of games planned for us on our first day and it was a bunch of fun! My second day of school was also a whole bunch of fun but we had to take a math quiz to find out want we remembered and i didn't remember much. So over all my first 2 days of school were a blast!!

Deep Cleaning

2008-07-30T11:27:00.000-07:00

Okay so yesterday my mom said that I needed to clean out my closet. So I got to throw out ALOT of shoes that didn't fit me any more and alot of dresses and jackets and skirts and shirts,and i think you get the picture! So now my closet and my dresser are way more roomy. Hope and Jackie had to do the exact same thing. Tayler not so much. Oh well I knew it would happen sooner or later.

2008-07-20T12:59:00.000-07:00

On Thursday we went to Fred Myer and got Guitar Hero 3. We play it almost every day and all day long! We also got Super Mario Galaxy which is also very fun.

Bag Licking

2008-07-16T11:41:00.000-07:00

Yes it's true i lick bags.Jk, my mom ate a bag of doritos and after she was done she held it out to Rocky and he stuck his head right in! Also when ever we open a bag he comes running hoping we will give him one!When we're sitting down eating he always puts his head in your lap so that maybe if he looks cute enough he'll get a treat!=) It is hilarious!!

Strawberry Heart

2008-07-16T11:33:00.001-07:00

2008-07-16T11:23:00.000-07:00

Every time my dog Rocky sees a squirrel he goes tearing after it to scare it away. i t is really funny to watch!=) You would think they would learn after a while but they just keep coming and coming. Oh well more fun for us! jackie thinks it's mean that when we see a squirrel we always send Rocky out to go scare it away with is firceness!
